As my dad’s not overly astute in the financial management side of things, I agreed that I would help him out in that respect. I’m a year 11 Accounting student so we’ve covered most of small business bookkeeping. I’m just wondering which accounting method would be most appropriate (and which software).

The business I only likely (at present) to consist wholly of himself (service business). I would probably be listed as an employee in these circumstances though.

I’m looking at some accounting jobs and they say they’d like the person to know how to use Quickbooks. I’ve taken a few accounting classes but I wonder if I should take a class for this. It sort of seems like a waste of credits to take a class for this when I could be taking more accounting classes that would count for the CPA exam. Quickbooks isn’t that hard is it? Should I just apply to these jobs?

I’ve been reading these “God awful” reviews on QuickBooks Pro 2007 on Amazon (how you have to buy each software package when it’s time to “upgrade”, horrible overseas tech support, having salespeople harass you, etc.) and how you get pop-ups that you can’t disable to purchase their products. Are there anything that is just as good as QBs? I don’t want to be quick to judge as I’ve never used an Accounting software before, but I’m seeing all the signs that says not to buy it. Thanks!

Tally by the company tally solutions is considered to be the best accounting software available for business all over the world. can any one tell me why?
